Draft

I have moved Laser Blended Vision:Example/Draft to User:Dzreinstein/sanbox. But before you do any further work on it, ask yourself whether it is appropriate for a Wikipedia article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Journal of Refractive Surgery

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Journal of Refractive Surgery, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.healio.com/ophthalmology/journals/jrs. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

  If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Dzreinstein. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Journal of Refractive Surgery, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Deletion discussion about Ursula Reinstein

Hello, Dzreinstein,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Ajpolino and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Ursula Reinstein should be deleted. Your comments are welcome over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ursula Reinstein .

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Ajpolino}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Hello! I just wanted to leave a note to explain the templated message above. Wikipedia only contains articles on topics that meet its notability criteria. In general, in order to have an article a topic must be the subject of substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. For academics, who rarely receive much media attention, we have an alternate guideline allowing for articles on academics who clearly have made substantial impacts in their field, but who may not receive the same media attention as, for example, a similarly exceptional basketball player or film actor. I couldn't find references to suggest that Ursula Reinstein meets either the general notability criteria or the the academic ones, so I nominated the article for deletion. Deletion discussions usually go on for 1-2 weeks and any editor is welcome to contribute. If you believe the topic meets one or more of the criteria I cited, please go to the deletion discussion (linked in the templated message above) and note why you believe that to be the case. Thanks for your time! I hope all is well. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 22:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
